Fair Oaks man still missing in Vallejo after three days

The third day of search efforts Tuesday to find a missing 77-year-old Fair Oaks man was once again futile, Vallejo police said.

The Solano and Contra Costa Sheriff's Offices, along with the U.S. Coast Guard, met Tuesday to use a sonar video system to search for Philip Mattingly, who is presumed to have fallen into the Mare Island Strait sometime between 5 p.m., Saturday and 8:30 a.m., Sunday.

Mattingly was working on a World War II craft that is docked on Berth 10 on Mare Island, which is adjacent to his tugboat.

His son reported him missing Sunday after finding his truck still parked at the berth, and the vessel unlocked.

Mattingly also has a history of diabetes and a heart condition, his son said.

He is described as a white man, 6 foot, 1 inch, about 210 pounds, with hazel eyes.

Anyone with information of his whereabouts is asked to call Vallejo police at 648-4321.
